Show Synopsis:
The courtship between the headstrong shrewish, Kate, and the not-so-gentlemanly fortune hunter, Petruchio, ignites the stage with masquerade, misdirection, and a look at the roles we must play.
The Taming of the Shrew is Shakespeare’s most outrageously funny and controversial comedy.
